Hi all

One of our db is growing fast and we need more space for it, our dba said that they can increase the space of our db (double it)  immediately but on a disk (partition/san I don't know exactly where) with slower performance of the one where the db is actually situated.

Our db consists of about 10 huge table (hundred millions records), about 30 tables with millions of records, and some lookups.

All tables has indexes.

Now my question is witch table / index place on the fast disk and witch on the slower one?

regards

Hi All

I have a few questions regarding the memory changes in SQL 2012

• I usually use the following script to check my memory clerks on my SQL Servers below 2012

--1
SELECT TOP(20) [type], [name], SUM(single_pages_kb)/1024 AS [SPA Mem, Mb] 
FROM sys.dm_os_memory_clerks 
GROUP BY [type], [name]  
ORDER BY SUM(single_pages_kb) DESC;
--2
SELECT SUM(multi_pages_kb)/1024 AS [MPA Mem, Mb] 
FROM sys.dm_os_memory_clerks 
--3
SELECT SUM(single_pages_kb)/1024 AS [SPA Mem, Mb] 
FROM sys.dm_os_memory_clerks

I'm assuming that because there is no longer a multi_page allocator, the second query is useless?

Do I need to change the single_pages_kb column to pages_kb?

Regarding memory clerks, prior to SQL 2012 the MEMORYCLERK_SQLBUFFERPOOL clerk always showed zero, this was because  single_pages_kb refers to the amount of single pages the clerk is pulling from the buffer pool, so the buffer pool won't be reading single pages from itself, hence the 0kb.  Has this changed in SQL 2012?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi,

On MSDN is written "We recommend that you run SQL Server 2012 on computers with the NTFS file format. Installing SQL Server 2012 on a computer with FAT32 file system is supported but not recommended as it is less secure than the NTFS file system". Does it mean ReFS isn't officially supported or that the MSDN out-of-date ?

Thank you

Hi there,

I've got a bunch of stored procedures run SQL statements over a linked server connection and a couple of times a day I get the following error caught in my try/catch:

Error Number: 121
Error Severity: 16
Error State: 1
Error Procedure:
Error Line: 0
Error Message: TCP Provider: The semaphore timeout period has expired.

The error doesn't occur at any set time, and can occur in different SPs, so it doesn't look like it's a single SQL statement causing the issue.

Given the error this looks to be a network issue, but I'm not sure how I go about getting some more details / tracing over the linked server connection, or why my line number is always 0 (works on other errors).

Are there trace flags I can switch on that might provide me with more details?

SPs are running on a Web Edition 64-bit (10.50.2500) and the linked server is a Standard 64-bit (10.0.5500).

Thanks a lot,

Larry.

Hi there

I have a scripted SQL agent Job that has 33 steps in it that was scripted out.  When Trying to recreate the job on another instance it is failing with the following error message:

Now  I can comment out Steps 25-33 and the job will create quite happily.  Can anyone advise me what is going on and why this error is happening. 

All assistance appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hi,

I want to know how to perform tail log-backup when database has crashed and is not online. Since SSMS cannot be opened

how to take the tail log backup in that situation

Regards

I believe this is related to old DTS packages running, but I'm not certain of the exact cause or the fix.  This is running on Windows 2003 Std SP2 x86 build 3790 GDR 080813-1204 and SQL Server 2005 Std SP4 build 9.00.5000.00 and is a VMWare 5 virtual machine.

Check the SQL error log for any related stack dumps or messages. This exception forces SQL Server to shutdown. To recover from this error, restart the server (unless SQLAgent is configured to auto restart)."

Consistency checks of the databases return no errors.

Hi All,

I came across a Strange thing. I am not sure whether it is expected behavior or a bug. So just wanted to confirm the same.

I have set the TempBD log file initial size to 5GB that is 5120 MB and kept Autogrowth to 250MB

Now when I check for Disk Usage Reports I was getting as Transaction Log Space Usage: 5120 MB, but since no transaction was running it was showing 99% Unused.

Now when I go ahead and run below command it shrinked to 250 MB

USE [tempdb]
GO
DBCC SHRINKFILE (N'templog' , 0, TRUNCATEONLY)
GO

How can the log file be shrink to 250 MB when I have set the Initial Size to 5120 MB

Also the logfile Initial Size got reduced to 1 MB automatically

Thank you

Thanks & Regards,

I want to give transparently access for applications to distributed data on 2 database servers.

I write a module to translate 1 sql query into another query. When users send sql queries to DB-Engine, then DB-Engine will firstly forward these queries to my defined-module before processing sql syntax.

How can I integrate my-defined module to DB-Engine of SQL Server?

Guys,

I am installing SQL Server 2012 SP1 to be used for SCCM 2012 Server , and for SCCM 2012 Report Service Point

After the SUCCESSFULL installation of SQL 2012, I am running into following issue

when I go to Reporting Sevice Configuration Wizard to configure the database I am running into issues:

1. can not change database, can not create new database, can not change user name, testing connection fails with below error messages:

"Could not connect to server: The type initializer for 'system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection' threw and exception'

If I browse for the URL to access http://servername/reports

I get HTTP ERROR 500

the website is under maintance.

I can not also update the installation of sql nore I can uninstall it. doing so give me result

'the sql server has stopped working.

I have tried rebuilding my lab few times, but same issue

Shokey

Here's an interesting (maybe) case!

During an ETL process we create and populate a fairly large table.

It has a non-unique clustered index, and we carefully sort the data and add it in sorted order.  That is, we do an SSIS fast load where the data comes from a select with an order by.

And yet when we're done, the table is horribly fragmented.

Why?

I can think of two possible answers, but wonder if anyone knows.

Thanks,

Josh

ps - my two guesses are either or both of (a) the fast load does not preserve order, and (b) the non-unique clustered index adds uniqueifiers out of order.

pps - the table is built with 100% fill factor.

hi team,

There are frequently blocks occurred  and  automatically released by sql engine but db and app's side no issue. but SAN having some problem.

how we can resolve this problem from as DBA.

Hi,

I need to know if the XactSequence number in the profiler can ever be the same for 2 separate transations. It is also used in the ALL_HEADERS section of TDS packets as a transaction identifier.

I cannot find anywhere that suggests if they are globally unique or not, and if my tests are correct i am seeing them repeat roughly every 15 minutes under very heavy traffic.

Thanks for your time.

Gurus,

I really want to have a clear notion of updating databases.

1. what does "updating a database" really mean?
2. What are the things we need to do to update a database?

A link might do

Thanks in advance,

Is there a way to pass a bit out of a job step, and depending on the value, skip the next step, or skip out of the job all-together? I could force the job to fail if a certain condition is met but I'd rather have it complete successfully so I don't get an error in the log or job history.

Here's the context: I'm in the process of editing all the jobs to include a test for is-active-mirror-partner. In other words, if the job's target database is currently the mirror (sychronizing) we want the job to stop at step 1 without error before it really does anything. I have a lovely function to test for mirror, and for most job steps I just put the conditional "if mirror then return" at the top of the step. But the job steps that are calls to an SSIS package are making this more difficult. I could change the @subsystem property on those steps from SSIS (or DTS) to TSQL but then I'd have to run the SSIS package using xp_cmdshell and I think that's a security risk, hence the need for a better solution. Some people have recommended I create a stored procedure to call the SSIS package. This would enable me to change the subsystem to TSQL and add my if-mirror test before calling the proc which launches the SSIS package, but I am hoping for a more simple solution as described above.

I don't want to waste your time so please read this post in its entirety before responding. Sometimes people's answers are left of field because they don't read the whole problem and conditions.

Hi!

I'm using SS2012

I have created a filetable. My program that creates some files runs slower when the share is a file table share instead of

a normal share without file table (both shares are on same server).

Anyone seen similar?

Any suggestions for solution?

Best Regards
